Bricol Sports Auction Delivers Veris Jersey

[VERIS#60]

One of the biggest assets this forum offers is the wealth of information that is on the site. I have recently read where Bricol Sports Auction has not paid consignors their money owed. I just wanted to let everyone know that during their recent auction ending Jan 15th, 2009, they have shipped out my item won during the auction. I won the Garin Veris 49ers game used jersey. I hope this is good news that Brian will pay out the money that he owes to those who have not been compensated yet for their items consigned. I have talked to Brian on several occasions and he seems like an honest man. This hobby needs as many honest people as it can get to uphold the integrity of the business. I wish nothing, but good luck to all of those people that are owed money from Bricol!

I had similar issues with them-see below and proceed accordingly.

Like most of you, I've called and emailed many, many times. I have been waiting to file a civil action, and I intend to do so soon. I have a question for you: did any of you have written consignment agreements with Bricol or were you operating under oral contracts? Also, has anyone gotten any traction with the Florida AG's office yet? I am quite willing to participate in that process as well. Thanks. --Steve

As follow-up to my previous post on this thread, I contacted Detective Cangemi with the Pinellas County Crimes Unit. He noted that he visited Shannon Bricol at her residence, explained my issues with lack of payment, and he was assured my check had already been mailed. One week later, my payment was received in full.

Detective Cangemi informed me that he is no longer handeling issues related to Bricol, and said that a new detective is handeling all issues/complaints. Detective Anderson can be contacted at 727-464-7988.

My bad! My post was in reference to Bricol, not AMI as you note.

Although I consigned many items to AMI, their continued late payments and outlandish reasons for these late payments given to me by both Keta and Vic forced me to cease doing business with them many years ago.

from their current, feb 2009, auction catalog: "AMI has made some great changes this year as well, with quick consignment payouts, we look forward to yielding the best prices, in the industry maintaining our excellent quality and impeccable customer service...We have the highest exposure in the marketplace as our base is Las Vegas, the best town for sports and entertainment...Kieta".

bolding is theirs, not mine. so there you have it. apparently quick consignment payouts are a "change" this year. makes you wonder what they were last year. las vegas, a town without a single MLB, NFL, NHL, or NBA team is the "best town for sports". sorry boston and new york! well i guess if you believe the first part of that section, you'll believe the rest.

Rudy: Las Vegas is the best sports town, if you think of sports as a betting endeavor, instead of enjoying it for its purity.

Besides, Los Angeles is the best sports town in the country. You have the greatest NBA team, the LA Lakers and the worst NBA team, the LA Clippers, you have the storied LA Dodgers and the sorrried LA/Anaheim Angeles, then there is hockey with the Kings and Ducks, and, of course, you have the two greatest colleges for sports UCLA (basketball, etc.) and USC (football, etc.).

Then you have the Los Angeles Rams for NFL football, or is it Anaheim Rams?

Pretty impressive, don't ya think.

This is kind of confusing to me...maybe someone can help shed some light and help me understand what "quick" means

So does Kita's statement mean that they believe 8 months is quick?....or will future consignors be paid out in 30-60 days and all of last years consignors are left to die in the AMI graveyard?

Receiving an item you won and paid for from Bricol is an entirely different matter then consigning an item to Bricol, having the winning bidder pay for said item and then not receiving payment from Bricol for said item. And then having to send the Sheriff out to Shannon and pay her a visit. I don't believe there were ever any threads posted from winning bidders complaining about never receiving the winning item despite paying for it. It is always those that have money due them where the issues arise. Bricol is great at taking your money (And items) but not paying the consignor for them in a timely manner. Its amazing how many of their consignment checks get lost in the mail. I am a victim of their "Lost" check. Twice in 3 auctions. I have been a homeowner for 20 years and never once has my mortgage bill or payment ever been "Lost" in the mail. Yet it routinely happens to me when I am owed money from Bricol. Anybody ever pay for an item from Bricol and never receive the item? Or a refund?

...and the sorrried LA/Anaheim Angeles...

Huh? That must be a typo as I hardly think the Angels are a sorried franchise. Check the winning pct since 2002. Check division titles. Check attendance figures. This isn't the 1990's anymore, the Angels have become a model franchise and one of the most successful teams in Major League Baseball.
